30 Year Old Lawyer Just Diagnosed

I am a 30 year old male attorney in NYC. I was just diagnosed with Aspergers, i went through two sessions of evaluations and a follow up appointment. I am getting the written evaluation in about 2 weeks.

I have never felt more comfortable in my skin. I finally understand all my difficulties and my strengths. I am who I am and I love myself for that. I struggle immensely with day-to-day daily living skills, driving, grocery shopping, conversation flow, cooking, laundry, all that. But with work, i am really good. Like Im actually a really good lawyer, I win cases, hearings, clients love me, co-workers love me, I am a good attorney. But i was never a good adult. Turns out its aspergers! I finally have answers as to why i feel so different and why i think i view things differently than others.

I struggled with depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and poor relationships my whole life. Ive been in therapy for years, I am getting treated for my depression and anxiety, etc. I love my team too, its not their fault i masked being autistic my whole life, ya know?

I am extremely excited to meet more people like me. If anyone lives in NYC and wants to be friends, let me know!
